CURRENT MISSION

I love thinking and imagining my mind as a big garret where there are many trunks, some more new some other old. Sometimes, in my relaxing time, I go up to my garret and I open one of these trunks and I start peeping.

ABOUT ME

Here we are, Mark and Stefy, travellers “not for chance! We have started travelling (as i use to say) since 1999, and I understood that this was my path. We decided to create a site because we wanted to share all the emotions we felt roving the world. They could be useful to who is going to backpack to discover new places. Travelling helped us to grow up and to understand more ourselves and the world that surrounds us. “Only a traveller can understand what plan a trip means, close the door behind you, leave, and, once back, think about the next destination¦
travelling gave us the most beautiful and indescribable feelings: it's difficult to describe what you feel when you are alone in boundless landscapes horizonless, under immense starry skies and you feel as you can touch it with a finger, when you listen to the most beautiful symphonies that nature can give you¦ endless sunset, hugs, glances, the smiles of all the people met during my path, that often, with small actions, made me feel the most important lessons of life¦ and then landscapes, deserts, seas, glaciers, far people and cultures¦only travelling you can fill luggage of your own life, a luggage never full¦
Of course journey seen as the contact with the people and the immersion in their real local everyday life, to understand and realize that our society has still a lot to learn¦ You only need a good plan, a good map a guide (I often use Routard), the essential for your trip, photograph equipment, a pinch of courage, adventure, rashness and sound madness as well, and a great desire of dreaming¦ you need only this! Travelling in this way, flights apart, becomes rather cheap…
I love to report in my faithful “journey journals all the adventures and ups and downs. My tales dont claim anything beyond being a faithful testimony of the sensations picked up in worlds different from ours. They tell about what I saw and what happened to me around the world, nothing.
Then my great passion is photography too, born and grown up during my path¦ so far it has become an illness for me, considering the hundreds pictures I took in every journey of mine, to be called: the japanese! I find wonderful to catch images, that are every day life situations, faces, landscapes, the important is that they can touch who looks at them (in primis who took them).

A photograph has to talk, tell, communicate¦and when it manages, its a great satisfaction!
I have travelled a bit and I have realized that places or means, landscapes or monuments, people or cultures do not determine the unicity of a journey but only our wayfarers spirit or as I use to say of “worlds gipsy.

It doesnt matter how, if on foot or by bike, by motorbike or by car, by plabe or by boat, you leave for a journey: you will find the worlds wonders and you will know yourself better!
My advice is: travel! even with your mind and imagination but travel,and sometimes, when you can with the backpack too (as for me its never enough...)!
